745 Unstoppable
Charlotte had no intention of letting Ghost Party Studios shoot Lost.
Although this can be said to be a science fiction drama, it is not the genre that Charlotte likes.
Especially in the later stage, in order to make money, the crew dragged out the story stinky and long, which was even more unpleasant.
Of course, in a way, this is also related to JΒ· J. Abrams, the director, is related to the style of the producer -
This commercial film director, who is very admired by Spielberg and George Lucas, has always been good at amazing beginnings, gradually mediocre stories, and speechless endings.
- This is true not only in "Lost", but also in the later "Star Trek" reboot and even "Star Wars 7".
However, despite this, Abrams's status in Hollywood has risen all the way.
In this regard, Charlotte in the original time and space was very speechless.
- Is it because this guy's name is Abrams, which has the same name as the U.S. military's M1A2 main battle tank, is it indestructible?
In short, thinking of "Lost" is just a reference for Charlotte to prepare for the sci-fi TV series "Shipwreck".
In the final analysis, apart from the hidden purpose of finding the Lord of the Abyss, this one is interesting, which is the main reason.
Mr. Westwood, who is in charge of the production of the Ghost Party Studios TV series, agrees.
"It's a lot of fun just how to build this "shipwreck island" and present it to the audience. What's more, how to live on a road made of a sunken ship and form social relationships is also very interesting. β
- In general, Mr. Westwood was interested in the story, even without Charlotte's request.
In addition, Alexander Belyaev, as a writer of the former Soviet Union, in this day and age, the copyright fee for his works is very low, which makes it more convenient for the adaptation of the Phantom studio.
And now Mr. Westwood wants Charlotte to come over to see how the shooting is going, presumably all the preparations have been completed and the official shooting can begin.
"HBO has agreed to air the show β of course, according to their style, our plot design needs to be a little more exciting. β
"Exciting......"
HBO TV is a pay TV station, and Charlotte naturally will not be unclear about what they mean by "stimulation".
Fortunately, although Alexander Belyaev's original work does not depict it positively, the social relations on the shipwreck island he writes about are indeed deformed and primitive patterns, and in such a mode, HBO naturally needs no less "stimulation".
The difference is only that the original author did not deliberately portray it.
And now adapting the TV series, adding some drama or meat drama is naturally not a problem......
Of course, such an adaptation scheme may make Alexander Belyaev's coffin board unbearable.
However, for Hollywood, which has never taken discipline seriously, this is really not a problem.
At least, Mr. Westwood, as a veteran producer, doesn't care about these issues at all-
"We shoot what the audience needs, is there anything wrong with that?"
Rational and vigorous, like a "people's artist" style.
However, there are times in this world when retribution comes very quickly-
"What, Mr. Westwood had a heart attack, fell unconscious in the office, and is now being taken to the hospital for emergency treatment!?"
When she heard the news, Charlotte was filming her new film in a Los Angeles studio with Charlize and Alexis, as well as members of the Inception crew.
Now, something like this has happened, and filming has to be suspended.
"I hope this old guy can spend this time safely!"
On the way to the hospital, Charlotte looked forward to it.
- Although he has mastered powerful spells and is able to transform dead ghosts like Alexis into powerful ghosts and live in society again in the form of living people, this is not the same thing as "flesh and bones of the living dead" after all.
If Mr. Westwood just hangs up, then there is nothing he can do.
However, in this world, many times, it is the good spirit that does not work badly-
"No more!"
When Charlotte rushed to the hospital, the old gun, who had been guarding the place, shook his head at him,
"His heart attack was sudden, and it was probably over at the time - although we found it in time, it was still a little late......
"yes......"
At this time, Charlotte didn't know what to say.
Although, given Mr. Westwood's health all along, and his mantra of making movies to death, everyone was mentally prepared for this day.
But people are not plants and trees after all, and when death knocks on the door, everyone's hearts are still a little uncomfortable.
"Has his family notified?"
Charlotte asked the old gun.
"Informed. β
The old gun nodded,
It's just that his wife recently traveled overseas with her daughter, and his son attends MIT, so he can't make it to the time for a while. β
"So, he might have to die alone?"
"yes!"
Old Gun and Charlotte looked at each other, and they both sighed together.
ββFor Hollywood film practitioners, it is not uncommon for all kinds of waves when they are young and bleak at night when they are old.
Add to that the structure of American society and the divorce rate, and dying alone is not an empty phrase.
Even, people who are unlucky may face the prospect of dying for many days without anyone noticing. The corpse can only slowly decay, and even be eaten by the pets at home.
Although Charlotte and Lao Gun can be said to have a happy family at present, it doesn't mean that they don't know about this situation.
"I'll go see him!"
Charlotte said a few more words to the old gun, and then planned to take another look at Mr. Westwood.
And Charlize was by her side to accompany him.
- Charlize is still very grateful to Mr. Westwood, the man who promoted her and Charlotte in the first place.
Although there is not too deep a connection, Charlize is still very uncomfortable when he learns that a person he has known for a long time is about to die.
In her opinion, Charlotte should be the same.
In particular, Charlotte's relationship with the other party is deeper than herself......
Therefore, Charlize did not find it strange that Charlotte had been gloomy in the performance.
She just quietly accompanies her husband.
Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the door of Mr. Westwood's ward, Charlotte's gloomy expression suddenly became crying and laughing-
"Old Tony (Mr. Westwood's nickname), I didn't expect that even death can't stop your love for movies!?"
"What!?"
Charlotte's words stunned Charlize, but then she thought of a possibility.
The girl immediately used her not very strong mana to open the yin and yang eyes-
The ghost of Mr. Westwood is standing there with a blank expression!
